Incidents That May Qualify as Wrongful Death

Under Michigan's Wrongful Death Act (MCL 600.2922), a claim can arise whenever negligence by a person, a company, or a government entity causes a fatal injury. In Royal Oak and the greater Detroit metro area, we regularly see fatal incidents tied to the density of traffic along corridors like I-75, I-696, and Woodward Avenue, as well as our region's heavy concentration of manufacturing and industrial employers. 

Common qualifying incidents include:

  • Motor vehicle and truck accidents. Michigan's busiest freeway interchanges run directly through metro Detroit, and high-speed collisions here are frequently fatal.
  • Workplace and industrial accidents. Oakland and Wayne County's manufacturing and auto-industry employers carry real risk when safety protocols are ignored.
  • Nursing home negligence. With a substantial aging population throughout the Detroit suburbs, neglect and understaffing at care facilities remain a serious local concern.
  • Premises liability incidents. Fatal falls, inadequate security, or unsafe conditions at retail, entertainment, and commercial properties across the metro area.
  • Medical malpractice. Errors at hospitals and care facilities throughout Southeast Michigan can result in preventable deaths.

Whatever the circumstances, our attorneys begin by determining whether negligence played a role and who should be held responsible.

How We Guide Your Family Through the Process

From your first conversation with our team, we take the time to understand exactly what happened and who may be liable, reviewing police reports, medical records, and any available witness accounts to build a clear picture of the incident. From there, we gather the evidence needed to support your claim, including accident reconstruction, safety records, employment files, or expert medical opinions, depending on what your case requires.

Once we understand the full scope of your loss, we develop a strategy tailored to your family's circumstances and pursue the responsible party accordingly, whether that means a negotiated settlement or taking the case to trial. Throughout the entire process, we keep you informed and answer your questions, so you're never left wondering where your case stands.
